TO KEEP APPLE TREES
FROM SPLITTING
Joseph E. Wing In, Breeders' Gazette.
Many farmers' wives are prejudiced
against ducks and with some reason.
Ducks are usually noisy, waddling, vo
racious birds and somewhat unclean In
their habits. We grow Muscovies, and
they also have their faults, yet It seems
to me they are worth considering by
Bucn i arm ioik as nave water ror them.
1 think they need water, and would
probably go to seek It If It was not
near Dy.
The Muscovy ia a very large duck,
black and white, a beautiful fowl in
plumage. It grows to be almost as
heavy as a turkey and we think has a
similar quality of flesh. Muscovies
never quack, they are almost silent.
They are of a half-wild disposition, yet
easily managed when It is desired to
handle them. At certain times of year
incy ny almost JiKe wlld ducks, though
we have never known them to leave
home. We like them because they are
so little trouble. Having a little lake
near tne house, they stay down there
nearly the whole year through and wa
oniy irouDie ourselves with them when
they bring off broods of little ducks.
Then we must shut ud the mothers for
a lew weeks and reed the young ducks
or eise tne turtles win devour them.
to As soon aa we let them go, when about
a quarter grown, iney are on ana there
after care for themselves. In winter
they glean corn In the feedlota and get

but they usually bring off two or three
broods of ducklings of about 12 In a I
brood, sometimes more. Ours nearly
always steal their nests and manage
their Own sittings.
Since t turkey diseases have so
multiplied It occurs to me that for
home consumption at least the Muscovy
duck might prove a pretty fair ubati-
tute and no rowl seems easier grown.
We have. In fact, never seen the least
delicacy or disease among them. The
young ducklings are little beauties, and
as quick and lively as crickets. They
are very energetic hunters for Insects
of almost all sorts. We feed them
cracked corn principally and do not re- I
memoer mat aver one died. It la bet

They ara said to come from Argentina.
POULTRY FOR PROFIT.
ly
rhe farmer should keep pure bred
poultry and a good laying variety. This
can be done by purchasing from breed
ers oi pure Drea stock, puyuig either
tne xowia or tne eggs.
Laying hens should be fed sparingly
ounng tne aay so mat tney win be kept
busy scratching for their food. Give
them a generous feed for snipper which
should be given early enough so that
they can get what they want to eat
oerore going to roost. (Scatter grain
sufficiently so that they can get all
they want. Clover Is a good egg pro-
oucer ana it snouia always De sown in
the poultry range. In winter provide
fowls with green feed once a day. All
kinds of vegetables are good. Meata
and all kinds of table scraps are also
renned. Keep plenty or clean, fresh
arinking water for them at all times.
They require a good supply of gravel
and other kinds of grit where they can
f ei at it, as tnig is tneir means or mas
lcation. which insures good digestion
and perfect assimilation of the foed. Al
ways do regular in reeding, keep poultry
houses clean, well ventilated and made
aa light and pleasant as possible. Do
not forget to keep poultry and roosts
free from vermin. Hatch chickens in
May and June, so that they will begin
laying early in the winter when eggs
command the highest price. Always
breed from perfect fowls, culling out
uie ueiective ana old ones.

As there seems to be more or less
trouble to the orchardist to prevent hla
apple trees from splitting by overload
ing and as there has been a number
of devices patented and put upon the
market , to prevent or overcome this
trouble, I will; through the columns of
The Journal, give my plan:
While the tree ia young and Is mak
ing a vigorous wood growth and the
head is being shaned. if von will
shoots onMhe inside of opposite branches
and carefully twist them together, just
enough to Insure that the twigs will
not slip upon each other. In two veara
you will have a living bolt securely
holding the tree. The ends nf th iwi.i.
ed Itmbs may be. cut off. In my young
orchard in West Roseburg I have scores
of tbs living bolts.
